Tennant Creek has very little tourist accommodation so expect to spend a cold night sleeping in your car or drive the 4 hrs back to Alice Springs afterwards.

If you plan to hire a car book asap. In Cairns in 2012 the hire company had bought cars from all over Aust, along with additional staff bought in from interstate to cope. When we arrived there was 4 -5 queues each 8-10 deep - with a triage table at the door to get people in the right queue. Two days later a mate had to visit 3 servos to find one with diesel. And it's not as though Cairns isn't used to handling tourists.
